The Anba Road — identified in the Japanese title as 鞍馬道, the Kurama Road — leads north from Kyoto through the mountains toward Kurama Temple, one of the ancient pilgrimage sites above the city. Kotozuka's print of this mountain road depicts the tree-lined path winding through the forested landscape that marks the transition from city to mountain, the atmosphere of the route carrying the historical weight of centuries of pilgrims and travelers who have made the same journey.
